So what can you do to prevent or reduce low back pain caused by poor sitting posture?
Below is a great video from my favorite Physiotherapist on Youtube, Physio Fitness Australia, on how to sit with correct posture. It’s very difficult to describe how to sit with proper posture, this video does a great job of showing you a simple and effective may to change your posture.
Pelvic Tilt – What’s your angle?
The angle of your pelvis determines the shape of your spine. When your pelvis is in the correct position your spine naturally forms the preferred S-Shape that gives it structural stability.
As Mr. Keeley states in the above video, you do not have to sit with perfect posture all the time. The goal is to consciously reset your posture at least every hour. The more you become aware of your posture and reset it to a proper position the more your brain will consider that position to be its new normal. Over time your brain will learn to maintain that position on an ongoing basis.
The other key point to remember is the idea of a “pattern of movement”. The technique of lifting the top of your head toward the ceiling, thereby recruiting a variety of muscles and creating a natural movement pattern, will allow your brain to more quickly and easily adopt the new posture.
